+These flying vehicles are not solid so you cannot collide into them and there are no drivers in them. DeadDodos can be destroyed by shooting a rocket through the plane. In an early GTA III commercial, the Airtrain is seen being destroyed by the rocket. This feature can be enabled through {{U|Silent}}'s [http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=26526 "Destroyable Airtrain"] mod.
